South Africa surf

We delve into the HUCK archives to revisit our feature on social division and surfing in South Africa.

'The Maisches still support their cause and also employ a number of Zulus in their factory, some of whom have been there for decades. One such case is forty-five-year-old Alex Madala, who has never surfed, but cuts, sands and waterpapers the precision surfboard fins this little backwater factory has become world famous for. Alex is pleased to see the kids in the water: “Surfing is a nice sport, if you do surfing then you are independent.”' - Miles Masterson
